The Indiana Fever are bringing championship experience to the roster in free agency. Dallas Wings veteran Natasha Howard is reportedly joining the Fever, the team that originally drafted her 10 years ago into the WNBA.
Alexa Philippou of ESPN reported Friday that Howard is headed back to Indiana after spending two seasons with the Wings following a three-team trade that sent her to Texas. This move gives Stephanie White's team extra presence on defense. Howard is a more-than-capable defender who was named the Defensive Player of the Year in 2019. She is a three-time champion.
